You are. The charts are confusing. At the bottom it says full support ends May 31, 2027.
Red Hat made some strange decisions with the way they’re handling Stream vs RHEL, plus the communication was abysmal, and they changed models mid-cycle. Be mad at them for that all you want, the rest was overblown.
This company could have just used Stream 9 if he wanted a free OS. Since he’s virtualizing, he could have bought hypervisor licenses for $4k a piece that allow you to run as many VMs as your hypervisor can handle. He could have used OpenShift for virtualization and container orchestration, and just paid for the OpenShift licensing. If you use OpenShift, you can run all the RHEL VMs and UBIs you’d like at no extra cost. What you never do is pay per core. There isn’t a single licensing model from RH that forces you to do that. If you license individually, each license supports one bare metal machine, or two VMs. This guy is full of shit. He’s just mad everything isn’t $0.
